Well said, Stan. I doubt if our "friend" Ed comprehends your message, nor will take it to heart. My favorite writer on guns and hunting/shootin' - the late Nash Buckingham, used dialect in many of his earlier stories, the best example I can offer is "The Shootin'ist Gent'man"-- for him, and in the era in which the story took place, it worked- today, perhaps, not so much.

But, to be realistic, my friend, I doubt if Ed grasped your phrasing in your "on point" message. Guess we'll just have to tolerate Ed, as we must do with "Ho-Jo", the Gent'man from the same Volunteer State as the late T.N. Buckingham hailed from- RWTF
